How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 71 = 43.31
- Check: Work backwards: 43.31 ÷ 71 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/71, so part = 61 × 71 ÷ 100 = 43.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*71. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 61%
Increasing 71 by 61% gives 114.31 and decreasing it by 61% gives 27.69. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 44.5809, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
